Craig was simply amazing!!! I just cant believe within 2 hours that I had a garden plan in my hand that I was looking forward to having built. Now that it is built, the true talent of Craig comes to light! He has transformed my house to a home and given me something that I am very proud of.
Thanks Craig, look forward to working with you again in the future, in the mean time I have recommended you to several friends - not that I need to - the garden design does all the talking!

We have worked together with Craig for years now and are always impressed by the quality of his designs and the creative way they are put together.
His hand-drawn plans are exceptional and very easy to read and understand - we highly recommend Craig and FORM garden architecture.

Craig was exceptionally helpful in sketching our landscape plan. He has a vast knowledge of planting and hard landscaping. He instantly knew how to bring the best out of our space & had a impeccable vision. This was an extremely smooth process and Craig listened and facilitated each and every one of our requirements.
We look forward to using Form Garden Architecture again as we continue our current build and for any projects in the future.

We were extremely impressed by Craig's process and style in wanting to fully understand how we use the existing setout, what we like and dislike, our aspirations etc. Very thorough indeed. Only when he understood what we wanted (and a budget figure) did he suggest a concept. He drew up a nice and clear concept plan which ticked all the boxes. A landscape contractor pricing the job has commented the plan was "great" and "this will be very easy to work from". Thanks and we highly recommend. Great value for money and unusual for a consultant to listen to the client before putting "their" ideas first. .

We were really impressed with Craig's design. far exceeded our expectations and really added value to our property and created really great outdoor spaces. The selection of trees was excellent and his sense of space and design was really creative. Craig was really easy to deal with a thoroughly professional through the whole process. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone else looking for a landscape architect.

This is the second time I have used the services of Craig of FORM to draw up designs for my garden. He takes time to understand what the client wants to achieve, draws up amazing plans with planting schemes and just makes the whole process easy. Therefore, I highly recommend him.

Craig's number was passed on to us by someone who thought highly of Craig's work and we were pleased that we made the choice to go with him right from the start. Thank you for sitting down with us and asking what our vision was for our landscaping. What impressed us was Craig's passion and knowledge and also we valued his recommendations. He has since come back to check on how the plants etc are growing and has given us handy tips to enrich our landscaping. We wanted something a bit different out the front area of our house because we have quite a lot of space to fill and he suggested a mound. We have had many comments of how great the mound looks and also the landscaping in general from people we know and passers-by if we our out in the yard gardening. We take pride in what he has done and would highly recommend Craig to design and plan for others.

Craig has designed quite a few different projects that I have had the privilege of working on. His design has been thorough and well thought out with an eye for detail and creating great outdoor living spaces!
He has the ability to work on more complex hill sites, taking into account land topography and difficult access.
Looking forward to the next project!

Commented: Love the two dogs! Where can I get those??Hi There,
They do look great.. my client sourced these independently about 4 years ago from the UK. This link will take you to a possible supplier https://www.utilitydesign.co.uk/magis-plastic-pup...

Commented: What is the cost?Hi Joanne,
The louvre systems can be budgeted at aroound $1000/m2. Is there any specific element you were enquiring about or are you referring to a design cost?
best regards
